Day three of Wlasiuk testimony today

NORWICH – Day two in the trial accused murderer Peter Wlasiuk wrapped up early on Friday, with jurors receiving a stern warning from acting Chenango County Court Judge Joseph F. Cawley not to discuss the case in any way, shape or form – be it with friends, family or online social media.

Judge Cawley released no specifics in regard to his warning to the jury, and declined further comment.

The case against Wlasiuk – accused of killing his wife, Patricia Wlasiuk, in April of 2002 and staging a Guilford Lake accident in an effort to cover up the crime – resumes at 9 a.m. today in the Chenango County Courthouse. Charged with one count of second degree murder, a class A-1 felony, Wlasiuk has successfully appealed two prior convictions for the crime, in 2006 and 2011, respectively.
